He underscored that these schools are terrific examples of cooperation and collaboration between business and labor. On April 8, he attended part of the state Advisory Commission on Charter Schools (ACCS) meeting. The ACCS heard the appeal of the Paramount Collegiate Academy charter petition, which SCOE’s Board denied on February 17, and which had earlier been denied by the San Juan Unified School District.

The CDE staff recommended denial of the petition. He noted that the student performances at the state Poetry Out Loud finals, held on March 15 and 16, were the highlight.

Mr. Fong reported that he attended a presentation on a home visits program through Sacramento City Unified School District and was very impressed. He wondered if SCOE could do something similar for SCOE students. He shared that he had an 15-35 opportunity to speak at the Legislative Health Committee supporting vaccination of children. He asked if there would be an opportunity for SCOE to pass a resolution in support of or in opposition to Senator Richard Pan’s bill. Mr. Geeting expressed his appreciation to SCOE staff for the extra work entailed by holding the April 10 Board meeting at the Palmiter/Hickey campus. He noted that Sabre Jackson, the Palmiter student representative, and Alyssia Furtado, the Elinor Hickey student representative, were exceptional in their poise and the compelling nature of their comments. On April 16, he participated in a meeting of the California County Boards of Education (CCBE) Legislative Committee. He reviewed three of the bills that were discussed: AB 787, by Assemblymember Roger Hernández, is sponsored by the California Teachers Association and is intended to draw authorizing entities more closely into the operation of the charter schools they authorize by requiring that the authorizers appoint the members of the charters' governing boards from prepared lists of candidates. The California School Boards Association (CSBA) did not take a position on the bill, but CCBE chose to take an "oppose" position. The bill is contrary to longstanding advice provided at CSBA workshops that authorizers should maintain an arm's length relationship with the charters they authorize, so as to remain objective regarding the schools' operations and to minimize the authorizers' liability for errors that may be made by the schools' governing boards and staff. CCBE joined CSBA in supporting AB 1391, authored by Assemblymember Jimmy Gomez, which would bring complaints about failure to provide the minimum required physical education (PE) minutes under the Uniform Complaint Procedure, rather than continue to allow complainants to proceed directly to court. The bill responds to a 2010 appeals court ruling that found it unclear whether there was an administrative remedy related to PE minutes. And, lastly, Senator Pan's SB 277, which would eliminate the exemption from immunization requirements for students based upon personal beliefs. CSBA took a "support" position on the bill. However, the members of the CCBE Legislative Committee were sharply divided, so no position is being taken on the bill at this time, given that it appears likely that Senator Pan will need to amend the legislation substantively in order to keep it moving through the legislative process. The next meeting of the CCBE Legislative Committee is May 1, 2015. He said it was a pleasure to join Trustees Brown and Levy at yesterday's Seal of Biliteracy ceremony at Rosemont High School. Countywide, more than 800 students earned the Seal of Biliteracy this year in sixteen languages other than English, from Arabic to Vietnamese. It was a wonderful event, and special thanks to Jan Mayer and the keynote speaker, News 10 reporter Bianca Graulau. He also reminded everyone that the National Safety Council has proclaimed April as Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Ms. Brown reported that the Policy Committee met this evening. The Committee has reviewed the Graduation Requirements policy, and feel very strongly about making certain that SCOE students graduate with the assurance that they are qualified. She noted that the Seal of Biliteracy program demonstrates a cultural change in education, and she commended the schools for making opportunities available to students. Ms. Glover – no report. Ms. Levy – no report. 15-36 IX.B. President Rivas thanked Ms. Brown for presiding in his absence at the April 10 meeting. He also thanked the team that fixed the food situation at Gerber. IX.C. There were no committee reports. X.A. There was no distribution of the April/May Events item. X.B. There was no distribution of the April/May Site Visits item. XI.

Her supervisor remarks, "Ms. Brindle takes initiative and is thorough in her research when questions arise. She is very organized and conscientious. She is calm, positive, innovative, and takes initiative." Ms. Brindle is highly regarded for her organizational skills, the ability to plan ahead, her responsiveness in providing support to staff, and her follow-through with assigned tasks. One of her colleagues commented of Nikki: “She has a willingness and drive to get work done! Her attention to detail and her completion of work are what make the department successful. Her scheduling gets students where they need to be, and her work ethic supports teachers in the classroom.” Concludes Ms. Brindle's supervisor, "This description truly summarizes the exemplary work that Nikki does each day." Ms. Brindle additionally serves SCOE as a member of the Employee Recognition Day Committee and the Mather Employee Events Team (MEET). Ms. Brindle has been employed by the Sacramento County Office of Education since August 2009.

Known as "Mr. Pappas" to his students, he teaches the 12th grade Transition Partnership Program (TPP) Class at SCOE's Leo A. Palmiter Jr./Sr. High School. Students enrolled in this class, which is coordinated in partnership with the California Department of Rehabilitation, are working on meeting goals that lead to employment. His supervisor comments, "When working with students, Mr. Papagiannopoulous is calm, encouraging, and is able to provide relevant life VII.A.1. lessons to help students transition smoothly from high school to post-secondary activities. During instruction, his students are engaged in the learning process and on task. He is creative and brings current events to life, often connecting them to historical events." He offers resources and community connections to enable students to undertake internship experiences, and he organizes industry/career tours for Palmiter's seniors. In addition to his work in the classroom, Mr. Pappas works with middle school students as one of Palmiter's Check In/Check Out Mentoring Program mentors.

Mr. Papagiannopoulous also leads the Project Wisdom character education program and plays a major role at the campus Culinary Arts Café where he coaches students on their customer service skills. Concludes his supervisor, "Nick is a team player and is always willing to help out.

Ms. Evans, Payroll Analyst, serves in SCOE's Internal Payroll Department providing support to employees with their health and welfare benefits. Ms. Evans is considered the “go-to” person when employees experience issues with health, dental, or vision coverage. Ms. Evans also handles all of SCOE’s benefits processing and billing through My CalPERS and other providers. Her supervisor says, "Julie is the driving force behind SCOE's annual Health and Wellness Fair. She is especially effective at finding and engaging vendors to attend this event. Julie is a big part of its success." Ms. Evans serves on SCOE's Employee Recognition Day Committee, arranging for health and wellness vendors to participate and provide information to employees. She recently expanded the number of vendor participants. Ms. Evans assists in other areas of the Payroll Department when the need arises, as evidenced last winter, when changes in SCOE employee contracts necessitated considerable additional paperwork. "Ms. Evans went above and beyond to accommodate the heavy workload," comments her supervisor, "and she has done so while maintaining the positive attitude for which she is so well known by SCOE employees." Ms. Evans, who has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Science from California State University, Sacramento, has been employed by the Sacramento County Office of Education since May 2001.

Box 269003 Sacramento, CA 95826-9003 Subject: Surplus Property Reason: Declaration of Equipment Listed as Surplus Property and Authorization to Dispose of Equipment Pursuant to Education Code Agenda Item No.: VIII.A.3. Enclosures: 3 From: David W. Gordon Prepared By: Tamara Sanchez Board Meeting Date: 05/05/15 BACKGROUND: During the recession, SCOE programs opted to retain their aging personal computers beyond the normal five-year replacement schedule. Many of SCOE’s student computers were purchased in 2005 and are now over nine years old and cannot be upgraded to support the latest operating systems. With the transition to Common Core and a new standards-based testing program, Court and Community Schools and Special Education are in the process of replacing these computers with virtual computer technology. Most of the items on this list are to surplus those aging computers. CNTS recently replaced 80 desktop computers at El Centro with new virtual computers and the target completion date for the El Centro project is June 2015. Education Code sections 35160, 35160.2, 17545, and 17546 allow for disposal of property no longer needed or that is determined not suitable for school use. The equipment listed below has been identified to be in a condition considered unsuitable for school use and of insufficient value to defray the costs of arranging a sale. It would be in the Sacramento County Office of Education’s best interest to deem these items obsolete and dispose of them.

Gordon Prepared By: Dr. Matt Perry Board Meeting Date: 05/05/15 BACKGROUND: May Update We are providing the May Board update, designed to provide information regarding progress toward reaching established targets for the current academic year. This update includes progress on improvement strategies related to action steps presented during the March 17, 2015 SCOE Board Study Session, Promising Practices Supporting Academic Achievement in California Juvenile Court and Community Schools. Due to the design of the NWEA/MAP assessment system, academic progress in English and Math will be reported only twice per year (after each 90-day period). Reporting Calendar Update Our 2015-2016 updates on our Local Accountability System will be provided in: September, 2015 (End of Year 2014-2015 Report) December, 2015 (1st Report) March, 2016 (2nd Report) May, 2016 (3rd Report) VIII.F.1. Accountability System for Court and Community Schools Quarterly Report Accountability System for Sacramento County Office of Education’s Court and Community Schools (CCS) Center for Student Assessment and Program Accountability (C-SAPA) May 2015 The accountability system focuses on continuous improvement for all court and community schools operated by the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) by evaluating multiple measures. The system sets up a methodology to continuously monitor programs. Features of the Accountability System • Relies primarily on existing reporting mechanisms and testing programs in order to minimize the data collection and reporting burden for schools; • Measures performance through multiple indicators that are valid and reliable, yet appropriate for high-risk student populations; • Compares a school’s performance over time to itself rather than to other schools because of the unique characteristics of the court and community schools; • Applies the same indicators to measure the progress of each Juvenile Court and Community School, providing consistency and continuity for students who attend both types of schools. Overall Design and Structure The overall design and structure of the accountability system includes five indicators of school performance – one learning readiness indicator, three academic achievement indicators, and one educational transition indicator: 1. The Learning Readiness indicator will measure student attendance. 2. The Academic Achievement indicators will measure the academic progress a student makes in the core content areas of reading and mathematics and evaluate the number of credits earned by the student while enrolled in a court or community school. 3. The Educational Transition indicators will measure successful educational accomplishments. Quarter totals for these indicators are cumulative from the beginning of the school year to show progress toward the year-end goals. VIII.F.2. Accountability System for Court and Community Schools Learning Readiness Academic Achievement Educational Transition Successful Transition Attendance Academic Achievement in Reading and Math Credit completion Learning Readiness 1. Attendance Total days of attendance divided by total days of enrollment for all students enrolled during the school year for any length of time. Academic Achievement 2. Reading Achievement Growth data provided by this assessment may only be calculated after 90 instructional days, therefore this measure is provided on a semester basis. Growth Rate: Percentage of students who meet their NWEA 90-day growth target. 3. Mathematics Achievement Growth data provided by this assessment may only be calculated after 90 instructional days, therefore this measure is provided on a semester basis. Growth Rate: Percentage of students who meet their NWEA 90-day growth target. 4. Credit Completion Percentage of students earning 10 credits for every 30 instructional days of continuous enrollment. Educational Transition 5. Successful Transition The percentage of students who exit a SCOE school with a successful transition, such as passing a high school equivalency exam, earning a high school diploma, or re-enrolling at another traditional or alternative school.
